The nav system stopped recognizing the nav DVD. Before taking the car to the dealer, I wondered if there are any fixes I should try.

Things I've tried that haven't worked:
- cleaning the DVD
- inserting a music CD in the DVD slot

I suspect the fault lies with the DVD player inself.

Thanks,

I had the same problem with my navigation after a couple of years and the dealer ended up replacing the unit.

Yours is under warranty still?

Please post back what the outcome is so we can archive the fix.

If you are asking me, yes the 2008 335xi was still under warranty for that repair.

Just had the same problem. SM tried replacing the DVD disc's first ... no joy. They finally got the drive tested and have ordered a DVD drive from Germany, none in the states.
